Cesare Perdisa, (40) Maserati 250F, Eugenio Castellotti, (30) Lancia D50. Monaco Grand Prix 1955.

Cesare Perdisa, in his Maserati 250F (40), leads Eugenio Castellotti’s Lancia D50 (30) through a left-hand turn during the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix. The street circuit runs alongside the bustling harbor, where spectators gather behind an ornate iron fence. Sandbags fortify the inside of the corner, while advertisements for "Bret-Oil" and "Esso" line the track. In the background, a fleet of yachts and sailboats is moored, their masts rising against the bright sky to complete the classic, glamorous scene.
